Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Vauxhall standard radio/cd fitment

« on: 19 November 2008, 19:06:35 »

Hi, I have got a standard CDR500 in my P reg Omega 2.0GLS. When I turn it on the radio display says "SAFE". My handbook tells me that this happens when someone tries to input an incorrect code 10 times. The radio is locked and needs the attention of a vauxhall dealer. I can well imagine how much they will want to do the job. My question is, does anyone know of a way to do it myself? cheers.

Omega General Help / Re: Head Gasket?

« on: 29 March 2009, 21:51:50 »

No He didnt, but as he had come a long way, i felt obligated to offer it at a lower price to take into account the price of replacing the head gasket, lucky me, he declined and caught the train home. So now I can sell it again. Strange though I have never known a car do that before. Perhaps it was old coolant, I certainly hadnt changed it the year I have owned it. cheers.....

HI All, and a very happy sunday to you all. I have a problem, just tried to sell my p reg 2.0 gls to a chap who travelled a lolng way to look at it, he says my headgasket has gone.

Omega General Help / Remote central locking

« on: 10 October 2008, 20:52:22 »

I am in the process of buying a 97 P reg 2.0GLS, The previous owner thinks it has remote central locking but he hasnt got a remote fob.
Q1. Does anyone know whether this model has remote locking?
Q2. If it has, how do i get a new fob and get it programmed?
Thanks in advance for any help.
